Freeport Cultural Plan

Project Goals

1. Heighten support and recognition for Freeport’s cultural sector to boost its ability to benefit the community's quality of life. Cross-sector collaboration and networking reduces duplication of efforts and strengthens appeals for funding. Benefits of uniting the cultural sector are coordinated scheduling, cross-promotion, strengthening cooperative projects, and resource sharing.
2. Use strategic marketing to broaden community awareness of Freeport’s creative, cultural, and heritage-based offerings. Raising the visibility of Freeport’s cultural strength benefits business. Visitors are looking for authentic experiences, which in turn lead to longer visitor stays and increased economic activity. Event-related spending is proven to be a significant contributor to local economies.
3. Increase opportunities to experience arts, culture, and heritage for the Freeport community. Access to arts and cultural activities helps develop creative thinking skills often attributed to higher academic and vocational performance while encouraging healthy self-expression and development. Ensuring that opportunities to reap these benefits are available to all demographics helps to promote public health and vitality.
4. Cultivate a vibrant and diverse creative economy. Bold and thoughtful public projects provide positive images that help to build a reputation for creativity. Supplying resources for creative enterprises fosters an advantageous environment that attracts entrepreneurs and helps raise successful startups.
